When should you use CBCT for dental implants?

  Posted by: Dental Design      16th August 2021

Dr Andrew Shelley is a Specialist in Prosthodontics, a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and of England and an Honorary Research Fellow of the University of Manchester. With a special interest in imaging prior to dental implant placement and the author of several published papers on the topic, he shared his expertise as part of an ADI Webinar, available free for ADI members.

His session, entitled “CBCT, Do You Always Need It?”, explored the reasons to use or avoid CBCT imaging when approaching dental implants. He offered practical hints and tips to help clinicians be more consistent in their decision-making process. He adds:

“I also presented findings of a systematic review of the available literature. I also explored the results of a study we set-up, with colleagues placing dental in the mandible of phantom heads using either 2D or 3D images for treatment planning.”
